1.1. Acquaintance with the physiological equipment (demonstration).
Purpose: to acquaint students with amplifying equipment, promotional and registration of
equipment used in physiology as an experimental science.
The content of the work: Acquaintance students with existing equipment and explanation the
working principles of the equipment and its possibilities in studies of the functional state of the
organism.

1.2. Preparing a neuromuscular preparation.
Purpose: to prepare the preparation of the gastrocnemius muscle and sciatic nerve.
The content of the work: Immobilize the frog, skin, prepare the two legs preparation, prepared
the one leg preparation, isolate sciatic nerve, calf muscle and thigh.
Results: made neuromuscular preparation and its drawing in the notebook protocols.
1.3. The determination of the threshold of irritation for muscle and nerve.
Purpose: to determine the thresholds of irritation to the muscles and nerve and compare them.
The content of the work: Set the electrodes from the electrical stimulator to the nerve and
choose irritation threshold (indirect irritation of the muscles). Register the contraction of muscle.
Muscle contraction during indirect stimulation reveals the threshold irritation to the nerve.
Transfer electrodes at the same current strength directly into the muscle. Increases stimulus
strength to the muscle contraction (this is the threshold of stimulation for the muscle).
Results: the obtained data bring to the table, analyze and make a conclusion about the
excitability of nerve and muscle.
1.4. The dependence of the height of the muscle contraction from the irritation force.
Purpose: to experimentally prove the existence of dependence in the force of contraction of the
muscle overall on the strength of irritation.
The content of the work: Irritate calf muscle of neuromuscular preparation (directly or through
the nerve) with threshold and suprathreshold current. Record the height of the contraction.
Results: Measure the height of the contraction depending on the strength of the stimulus and
make the conclusion.
1.5. The measurement of rheobase and chronaxie of skeletal muscle of the frog (spec.
description).
Theme 2. Bioelectric phenomena in living systems.
2.1. The first experiment of Galvani.
Purpose: to experimentally reproduce the classic works of Galvani.
The content of the work: Prepare the preparation of the hind legs of a frog (with mandatory
preservation sciatic nerve plexus in spinal region). The copper jaws of the tweezers Galvani
bring under the sciatic nerve in the spinal cord, and the other concern muscle. See the contraction
of the muscle.
Results: The first experience of Galvani was reconstituted.
2.2. Experience of Matteucci (secondary tetanus).
Purpose: to experimentally reproduce the classic works of Matteucci.
The content of the work: Prepare two nerve-muscle preparation of the frog. The nerve of one of
the preparation is applied to the muscle of the other. The electrodes from the stimulator bring
under the first nerve. Stimulate nerve of the first preparation with volleys of rectangular
impulses, achieving a tetanic contraction of the muscles of the second preparation. After the
muscle tetanic contraction, one can observe a tetanic contraction of the first preparation.
Results: The experience of Matteucci was reconstituted.
2.3. Experience of Muller-Kelliker (demonstration-spec. description).
The content of the work: To determine the rheobase, install the electrodes on studied tissue
(nerve or muscle of nerve-muscle preparation) or group of muscles of the animal. The voltage

applied to the electrodes, infinitely variable from zero to maximum. By changing the voltage
applied to the electrodes in the direction of increasing from zero set rheobase for a given tissue.
Rheobase is evaluated at a constant minimum duration of the stimulus (useful time), then double
the magnitude of the applied voltage (2 rheobase). The scale of the pulse duration is set to zero
and smoothly changing the duration of the feed pulse upward, evaluate the chronaxia.
Themes 3-4. Types of muscular contraction. The contraction mechanism. Physiology of
muscles. Force and muscle work. Exhaustion.
3.1. Recording curve single muscle contraction and its analysis.
Purpose: to perform the registration and the analysis of the curve of a single muscle contraction.
The content of the work: Prepare nerve-muscle preparation of the frog and strengthen it in the
vertical myograph. Using an electric stimulator pick up the amperage at which cause quite a
strong muscle contraction. Registration a single muscle contraction. By means of the curve of
muscle contraction determines the phase of contraction and their duration.
Results: record the curve of a single muscle contraction.
3.2. Summation of muscle contractions.
Purpose: to show that skeletal muscle obeys the power law relationship during contraction.
The content of the work: Registration the contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle of a frog
during stimulation with an increasing power.
Results: the greater the stimulus the greater the amplitude of muscle contraction (up to the
plateau).
3.3. Complete and incomplete tetanus.
Purpose: to registration an incomplete and complete tetanus of the gastrocnemius muscle of the
frog.
The content of the work: Registration a single muscle contraction. Increasing the frequency of
irritation to 10-20 Hz, registration incomplete tetanus, further increasing the frequency,
registration complete tetanus.
Results: Complete tetanus is a tetanus in which stimuli to a particular muscle are repeated so
rapidly that decrease of tension between stimuli cannot be detected, and incomplete is a tetanus

10. SELF-GUIDED WORK.


Form of education Full-time

Independent work is made up of preparing for classes on questions for each lesson and
preparation for intermediate control on questions for offset and examination. The following
educational technologies are used in the organization of independent work of classes:
Auditorium independent work on the discipline is performed on practical exercises under the
direct guidance of the teacher and on his instructions. The workshop on normal physiology
contains various experimental tasks in accordance with all the main sections of the theoretical
course and is independently carried out in the laboratory of the Department of Physiology,
equipped with laboratory equipment. As part of the course, students solve virtual problems - this
is a simulator for independent work. Outside classroom independent work is performed by the
student on the instructions of the teacher, but without his direct participation. The main types of
independent work of students without the participation of teachers are: the formation and
assimilation of the content of lecture notes on the basis of textbooks recommended by the
lecturer, including information educational resources (electronic textbooks, electronic libraries,
etc.); preparation for practical work, their design.
